MODULE 1

Lesson 1:
Discovering Personal
Challenges
YOUR JOURNEY
In your previous journeys, you have
been provided with a lot of opportunities to
explore and improve yourself. Now that you
are in the final stage of your junior high
school years, what this lesson promises is
to teach you how to increase your
effectiveness in responding to problems
which challenge your innermost sense of
self, your “I am that is deeper than your
name and form.”
 In this lesson, you’ll answer one enduring
question about life, that is, “How does
discovering personal challenge create a deeper
understanding of your innermost sense of self?”

Your target output at the end of this lesson

is a concise oral report about cyberbullying and
the criteria for assessment will be verbal skills,
nonverbal skills, and content of the presentation.
